Ryan Howard’s New House Will Have Doorknobs Worth More than Your Salary
By Jim Adair

Ryan Howard’s massive moat-mansion, as we previously mentioned, is still being built. It’s been in the works for a long time, but now thanks to the Tampa Bay Times, we know more about the place. For example, did you know Ryan Howard is spending $80,000 on doorknobs alone? $80,000 — which looks like this in cash — is likely more than you make in a year. Ryan Howard has your yearly worth in a bunch of doorknobs.
Additionally, the $5.8 million (ONLY?) mansion will feature eight bedrooms (one of which I assume is for Ruben to crash in, as a thank you for the house), at least ten bathrooms, “a two-story library, a trophy room, two kitchens, three laundry rooms, two elevators, a wine room and a bowling alley.” Oh, and we can’t forget the “swimming pool complete with an underwater treadmill and lazy river that floats under the mansion.”
It’s like he watched a whole bunch of MTV Cribs and was like “Yo, I want everything from all of those places.” The bowling alley idea definitely came from Penny Hardaway’s house.
